<p>Your stats are nothing out of the ordinary for Berkeley applicants, esp. for OOS. If you submit interesting, insightful essays, you should have a fair shot of being accepted, but its always hard to say for OOS.</p>

3

<p>By the way, six APs is not many compared to most other applicants, so you should mention the fact that your school only offered six APs somewhere in your application.</p>

<p>You have a good chance OOS.</p>
